• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.



How many washers.

Hi Everyone,
Recently re-rigged my Pitts and the only thing still off is a bit of wash up in each top wing tip (the amount is even). I'm currently at about 6 washers to get it to this stage and would like to get it perfect. So my question is:

Is the limit to the amount of washers between the wing and the i-strut a product of having the strut fairings fit or is it creating some type of structural weakness if more are used?


Used the search function quite a bit to try and answer this but have found only mentions and nothing direct.

thanks,
Lee
